    This is a superb cafe, the coffee is delicious the food is fresh and lovely and expertly cooked. It is very competivly priced . The staff are friendly and helpful and the whole place is clean and inviting. On top of this all is the quality compared to the price. I just had a bacon/cheese toasted sandwich side salad coleslaw and a regular Americano £7.50. The rest of the menu is equally good value it is wheelchair accessible .
